Term and Conditions for the Supply of Goods (Business and Consumer)

Your Attention is Drawn to the Provisions of Condition 11.

 


1 | Basis of Sale

1.1These Conditions and the Order are considered by us to set out the whole agreement between you and us for the sale of the Goods. Please check that the details in the Conditions or on the Order are complete and accurate before you commit yourself to the Contract. If you think that there is a mistake, please make sure that you ask us to confirm any changes in writing, as we only accept responsibility for statements and representations made in writing by our authorised employees and agents. Please ensure that you read and understand these Conditions before you submit the Order, because you will be bound by the Conditions once the Contract comes into existence with us, in accordance with Condition 1.5.
1.2Any samples, drawings, descriptions or advertising we issue, and any descriptions or illustrations contained on our website, are issued or published solely to provide you with an approximate idea of the Goods they describe. They do not form part of the Contract or any other contract between you and us for the sale of the Goods.

1.3

If any of these Conditions are inconsistent with any term of the Order, the Order shall prevail.
1.4The Order is an offer by you to enter into a binding contract, which we are free to accept or decline at our absolute discretion.
1.5These Conditions shall become binding on you and us when:
1.5.1We issue you with written acceptance of an Order (“Order Confirmation”); or
1.5.2we commence processing of your Order; or
1.5.3

we notify you that the Goods are ready;

whichever is the earlier, at which point a Contract shall come into existence between you and us.

1.6Any quotation for the Goods is given on the basis that a binding contract shall only come into existence in accordance with Condition 1.5. A quotation shall be valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue, unless we notify you in writing that we have withdrawn it during this period.
1.7We shall assign an order number to the Order and inform you of it in the Order Confirmation. Please quote the order number in all subsequent correspondence with us relating to the Order.
1.8Subject at all times to the provisions of Conditions 1.9 and 9.3 below, in addition to those rights expressed elsewhere in these Conditions, you may within 14 working days of placing an Order amend or cancel an Order by providing us with written notice. If you amend or cancel an Order, your liability to us shall be limited to payment to us of all costs we have reasonably incurred in fulfilling the Orders until we received your amendment or cancellation, except that where the amendment or cancellation results from our failure to comply with these Conditions you shall have no liability to us for the cancellation.
1.9Where an Order is for any Bespoke Products or Special Products and where we agree, notwithstanding the fact that we are not obliged to accept, to cancel an Order at your written request, you shall be continue to be liable to us for the price of such Bespoke Products or Special Products in full and where payment of the price has been made in accordance with Condition 3 we shall be under no obligation to refund the price for such Bespoke Products or Special Products to you and shall be entitled to recover any part of the price not yet paid.
1.10We reserve the right to cancel any Order at any time on written notice to you, without liability to you, where the Goods are no longer available.
1.11We have the right to revise and amend these Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities. You will be subject to the Conditions and any notified policies in force at the time of the Order unless any change to these Conditions is required by law or government or regulatory authority (in which case, the changes will apply to Orders you have previously placed that we have not yet fulfilled).
1.12These Conditions and the Goods are intended for use and purchase by a Customer over the age of 18. In the event that you are not 18 or above then we are not obliged to sell the Goods to you and we reserve to cancel an Order at any time immediately in the event that you believe that you are not over 18 years old, without liability to you or to any third party. Further we shall not be liable to you or any third party in the event that you purchase Goods which legally you are not entitled to when we have used all reasonable endeavours to ascertain that you are over the age of 18.

 


2 | Price

2.1Subject at all times to Condition 2.2, the price of the Goods and any Additional Charges will be as set out in the quotation we provided to you or, if we have not provided a quotation or the quotation has expired, as set out in the Order Confirmation, or if no price is stated, as set out in our price list in force at the time we confirm your Order. Prices are liable to change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that we have confirmed in writing.
2.2We may, by giving notice to you at any time up to 14 days before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
2.2.1any factor beyond our control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
2.2.2any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or
2.2.3any delay caused by any of your instructions or your failure to give us adequate or accurate information or instructions.
2.3If you receive notice from us of a price increase in accordance with Condition 2.2 you may cancel your Order in accordance with Condition 1.8, by giving us notice in writing within 14 days following receipt of our notification to increase the price.
2.4The price of the Goods includes VAT unless otherwise stated.
2.5The price of the Goods excludes delivery costs unless otherwise stated, which will be added to the total amount due and shall be due at the same time you pay for the Goods.
2.6It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the Goods' correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. If the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated in our quotation or price list in force at the time of your Order, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Order and tell you. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we do not have to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

3 | Payment

3.1Payment for all Goods and Additional Charges must be made in advance.  We accept payment by PayPal, bank transfer, debit or credit card, excluding American Express. 
  
3.2If you are contracting in the course of a business, you shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law, and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.  We may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies we may have, set off any amount owing to us by you against any amount payable by us to you.

4 | Packaging

4.1The packaging of Goods shall be entirely at our discretion and we shall have the right to pack all Goods in such manner and in such quantities as we think fit and shall not be obliged to comply with any packaging requests or instructions from you unless agreed by us in writing.
4.2Where it is agreed that we shall package the Goods in a manner requested by you and such packaging is in addition to that normally used by us, then we shall be entitled to charge you for the associated costs as an Additional Charge which shall be payable in accordance with Condition 3.

 


5 | Title and Risk

5.1The risk in the Goods will pass to you from the time of delivery or from when you collect the Goods from us, as the case may be.
5.2Ownership of the Goods will only pass to you when we receive payment in full of all sums due for the Goods, including delivery charges.
5.3Until ownership of the Goods has passed to you in accordance with Condition 5.2, you shall:
5.3.1hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as our bailee;
5.3.2store the Goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property;
5.3.3not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
5.3.4maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
5.3.5notify us immediately if you become subject to any of the events listed in Conditions 12.1.2 to 12.1.5 inclusive;
5.3.6

give us such information relating to the Goods as we may reasonably require from time to time,

but you may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of your business.

5.4

If you are contracting in the course of a business and not as a consumer and if before title to the Goods passes to you, you become subject to any of the events listed in Condition 12.1.2 to 12.1.5 inclusive , then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy we may have, we may at any time require you to deliver up the Goods and, if you fail to do so promptly, enter any of your premises or the premises of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.


6 | Delivery

6.1Your Order will be dispatched by the dispatch date set out in the Order or, if no date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Order, or by a date otherwise agreed between you and us, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
6.2Delivery of the Order shall be completed when we deliver the Goods to you or you collect them from us, as the case may be.
6.3We will take reasonable steps to meet the dispatch date set out on the Order or as otherwise agreed between us in writing. However, occasionally delivery may be affected by factors beyond our control and so cannot be guaranteed. We will let you know if we become aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery date with you.
6.4Any dates quoted for dispatch are approximate only. We shall not be liable for any delay in dispatch of the Goods that is caused by a Force Nature Event or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
6.5If you fail to take delivery of an Order or fail to collect an Order within 5 Working Days of the date on which we notify you that the Goods are ready, then, except where this failure is caused by our failure to comply with these Conditions or by an event beyond your control:
6.5.1we may arrange re-delivery of the Goods and may charge you any re-delivery costs we incur in as a result of you failure to take delivery or collect; or
6.5.2we may store the Goods until delivery takes place and may charge you a reasonable sum currently £30 per calendar day to cover expenses and insurance; and
6.5.3we shall have no liability to you for late delivery.
6.6If you have not taken delivery of the Goods within 2 weeks of our notifying you that they are ready, we may, after giving you reasonable prior notice in writing, resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, pay you for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge you for any shortfall below their price.
6.7If we are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we reserve the right to deliver the order in installments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. If you ask us to deliver the Order in installments, we may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other installment.

7.1Where we are not the manufacturer of the Deliverables, we shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer to you the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given to the us.
7.2Subject to Condition 7.1, we warrant that at the point of delivery the Goods shall:

The warranty in Condition 7.1 and Condition 7.3 does not apply to any defect in the Goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, if you use the Goods in a way that we do not recommend, your failure to follow our instructions, or any alteration or repair you carry out without our prior written approval.

7.6

We will take reasonable steps to pack the Goods properly and to ensure that you receive your Order in good condition.

7.7

These Conditions apply to any repaired or replacement Goods we supply to you in the unlikely event that the original Goods are faulty or do not otherwise conform with these Conditions.

In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Goods in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in Condition 10 below).
9.2To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. If you are a Home Consumer, this may take the form of the Notice of the Right to Cancel, but in any event a notice must contain the information set out in the Notice of the Right to Cancel. You must also return the Goods to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession.

In this case, we will refund the price of the Goods in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us;
10.1.2for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with Condition 1.8 that you do not agree to any change in these Conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Goods are defective), we will examine the returned Goods and will notify you of your refund within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you that you were entitled to a refund to the defective Goods. Goods returned by you because of a defect, except where the defect arises because you have failed to follow our instructions or the manufacturing instructions (whether oral or in writing) as to the storage, installation, commissioning, proper use and maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice, will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item.
